General
Though you can upgrade every 6 months there is often little reason to do this in a production environment.
Every two years a LTS(Long Term Support) release comes out.
- It is supported for 5 years.
- It does get point releases and kernel upgrades.
- Most software can be brought to a current version with a ppa
Check
sudo do-release-upgrade -c
The c is obviously for check
Upgrade
sudo do-release-upgrade
This normally only works after the point release is out.
You can force it sooner with the -d flag at the end
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
